Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

applying relevant legislation and workplace procedures

carrying out basic calculations as they relate to the job role

completing documentation related to work activities

identifying the most common forms of calculations as they relate to the job role

interpreting graphical representations of mathematical information

operating and adapting to differences in equipment in accordance with standard operating procedures

reading and interpreting instructions, procedures and information relevant to basic workplace calculations

working systematically with required attention to detail.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

basic mathematical operations and techniques

procedures for identifying and using relevant workplace technology when carrying out workplace calculations

relevant procedures and duty of care requirements
